Centro Cultural de la Raza
The Centro Cultural de la Raza used to be a water storage building, then people decided to make this building for artists to do art. This place is for people to do any kind of art, paintings and dance. There is a mural that took 15 years, the artist started left to right. There's a transition from darkness to lightness. The artist was raised in National City. The mural is a reflection of life, really god side and a really bad side.
I thought the Centro Cultural de la Raza had a lot of interesting art. The best art I liked was the mural of darkness to lightness because it was really creative. There was a Cesar Chavez sign/flag. There was also a snake that traveled through the dark to the light. On this mural there was faces, birds, land, houses, and water on the light side. There was darkness, fire, mean faces, weapons n the dark side. One thing that was on the mural was the spaniards looking for gold and burning an Aztecs feet.

Chicano Park
Chicano Park is located beneath the San Diego Coronado Bridge in Barrio Logan. It's a immigrant community in central San Diego. The park is the home to the country's largest collection of outdoor murals as well as various sculptures, earthworks, and an architectural piece dedicated to the cultural heritage of the community. For the magnitude and historical significance of the murals, the park was designated an official historic site by the San Diego Historical Site Board in 1980, and its murals were officially recognized as public art by the San Diego Public Advisory Board in 1987. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic PLaces listings in San Diego County, in January 2013 owing to its association with the Chicano civil rights movements. Chicano Park, like Berkeley's People's Park, was the result of a militant (but nonviolent) people's land takeover. Every year on April 22 (or the nearest Saturday), the community celebrates the anniversary of the park's takeover with a celebration called Chicano Park Day.
The part I liked about the park was where the stage was on the roof it looks like Indians watching the sunset and you can also see some deer. About the park that I also like was all the amazing art that was around the park it was so unique how random volunteers actually did that amazing art. When I always come to this park it is nice to look around and see all the cool art and sculptures. I think all the art at Chicano Park has it own story to tell, this was a great field trip.
